4 years agoHi, first off, I love biometric unlock. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that biometric could act similarly to the standard authentication method? I use this CLI called chezmoi that integrates with 1Password however it's https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/blob/478537aeceae3071a3ae6363c642572731ef66fa/pkg/cmd/onepasswordtemplatefuncs.go#L241 breaks when the user has biometrics on. The app tries to cache the session token, but there is no session token with biometrics.
There's a handful of ways around this, of course; you could have the app force CLI auth, you could add a way to check if they're using biometric auth or not, or my preferred method would be to bring them in line with each other so the biometric method outputs a session token and the standard auth method gets triggered when running a command without being signed in rather than erroring.
